Texas has some of the busiest highways in the country with thousands of semi-trucks, 18-wheelers and tractor trailers on the road every day. Unfortunately, Texas also has the highest number of fatal truck accidents. These can be brutal and often result in serious injuries or death.
Unlike car accidents, truck accidents have complicated liability issues involving federal trucking laws, corporate insurance policies and multiple defendants. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident you need to know your rights, Texas trucking laws and the claims process to get the compensation you deserve.
Two young women were driving home from work together along a rural highway. It was rainy, and head of them, a massive tractor-trailer was approach from the opposite direction. But that tractor-trailer was traveling near its maximum speed despite the bad weather, and when it suddenly hydroplaned, it crossed into oncoming traffic without warning.
The resulting collision obliterated the young women’s SUV, killing them both instantly. The devoted husbands and school-age children they both left behind now share in this terrible tragedy together and must personally grapple with their own unimaginable loss.
Verdict: $26,000,000
